The Development of Transportation in Montreal, 1820-1918
Abstract
An explanation of how the growth of transportation and industrialization influenced the lives of Montrealers between 1820 and 1920. The author reviews the impact of technological innovations on the development of transportation during the period from 1820 to 1918, studies the development of Montreal against the backdrop of the Canadian goods transportation system, and looks at how Montreal's industrial development was spurred on by the Canadian transportation network, and how the urban transportation of goods and people evolved over time.
